 | | Despite the popularity of Cantonese, most universities in the US do not and have not historically taught Cantonese, but Mandarin, which is used officially by both the People's Republic of China and Republic of China, and formerly in Imperial China as the court dialect. |
 | | There are several major romanization schemes for Cantonese in circulation: Barnett-Chao, Gwohngdongwaa Pengyam, Meyer-Wempe, Penkyamp, and Yale. |
 | | While they do not differ greatly, Yale is the one most commonly seen in the west today. |
